I experienced 2 outbreaks in 9 years.. this was the second and thankfully it was super light.. I almost missed it ... just one microscopic pimple.. It was gone within 2-3 days but since then the real issue has been the nerve damage. Thanks for the tips .. I experienced this on the first but it didnt last this long. This is crazy and has me worried about other issues this may have set off. I had chickenpox as well as a kid and I truly believe this and H are intertwined causing me shingles like effects. They are so behind and lackluster with research that it seems you have to take logical guesses at all of the things that occur that aren't the usual “run of the mill”. If they could figure covid out they can do the same with this and sometimes it pisses me off they think its not a big deal.

Hello Just wondering if anyone experienced burning long after an outbreak. I got on the meds around the end of September but am still feeling nerve pain. Does anyone have suggestions other than ibuprofen for this? To my knowledge prodrome is just that before an outbreak. How do you have prodrome for months? What pain meds were you prescribed? Did anyone try the Shingles vax seeking relief for the burning? I have days where it seems its over then BOOM.. pops back up with a new burning sensation somewhere else like the lower legs, groin etc … Its almost worse than the first time because the nerve pain didn't hang around this long the first time.

This is only my second outbreak in 9 years and I noticed I am dry down there .. inner thigh, groin area .. all of it is dry.. does anyone deal with this and what do you do?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.. that's what I've been doing .. the Ibuprofen .. just crazy how long this is lasting.. this is only my 2nd time noticing an outbreak.. the only silver lining in this is its my 2nd .... the first was more noticeable.. but this once i barely can see anything.. just 1 tiny sore that could easily be missed .. its so sneak that it pisses me off... I have antivirals from my doc now , so I'm praying that it goes into its hole again .. the first time 9 years .. praying for the minimum of 18 years this time 🙂 ... I just pray that my partner doesn't have anything.. its killing me because I didn't tie the prodrome together until after we engaged in sex. SMH....

Does anyone know how to stop the burning in your genitals? This is the worse part for me.. It burns before and after an outbreak.. Im fortunate my outbreaks aren't bad but the prodrome is killing me! I am not on meds.. too afraid of messing up my kidneys

I had what I think is prodrome 15 days ago then all of a sudden a sore appeared.. This is so against what Ive read its crazy. It was so mild that I wasnt sure.. Now Im praying I didnt pass it to my girlfriend. This is my first recurrence in 9 years.. Man I hate this virus with everything in me.. incredibly unfair
